Photo Slideshow: Taste Cafe, Safety Harbor
The tantalizing scents of just-brewed coffee and fresh-baked goodies greet friends and passersby to the Taste Cafe in Safety Harbor by day, while choice beers and wines along with some of Pinellas County’s finest local musicians lure them in after dark. Sing along or simply enjoy the sounds as background for the soul on one of the region’s favorite Main Streets.
The meals and sandwiches skew toward healthy and reflect diverse cuisines. Pastries are baked in Tasteās kitchen so the display case is filled with fresh goods while coffee, beer and wine (foreign and domestic) round out the food and beverage offerings. It also serves as a venue for local musicians and artists.
Friends and followers of Taste Cafe on Facebook and Twitter stay informed about menu updates,Ā invitations to be wine tasters or are notified when a dark chocolate cake emerges from the oven.
